In the sunrise sanitation sector, Ulka Sadalkar is a pioneer. She runs modern toilets in refurbished buses exclusively for women in Pune. The old buses would have ended up in landfill sites or at a scrap dealer’s yard. But Sadalkar, and her business partner, Rajeev Kher, changed their destiny.
Ten of those buses now sport bright exteriors with solar panels on top. Inside, the bus has Indian-style toilets and western-style ones. There is a shower, a diaper-changing station, hand-washing basins with soap, sanitary napkins, drinking water, and a place to just sit.
